Gait analysis using a tri-axial accelerometer : reliability and difference between elderly persons according to fall risk. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Background: Instrumental gait analysis often requires heavy equipment such as a force platform, thus lowering its accessibility for frail elderly patients. An alternative approach is to evaluate the gait characteristics in these patients using a tri-axial accelerometer. Although an increasing body of literature exists describing several outcome parameters that can be obtained using this technology little is known about the reliability of these ...
